Beyond the Surface: Emotional Intelligence in Leadership

How do our earliest relationships shape our leadership style? In this episode of The Squeeze, we explore the impact of narcissism, codependency, and secure attachment in the workplace with Carista Luminare, a consultant, counselor, and coach with over forty years of expertise.

Carista unveils insights on the psychology of triggers and reactions, offering leaders practical strategies to practice self-awareness, navigate emotional complexities, and cultivate a culture of empathy and understanding in their teams. Dive into a conversation that promises to redefine your approach to leadership and enhance your interpersonal dynamics at work.

And as with everything I share on the podcast, this is what I believe based on what I’ve read and researched. But please don’t take my word for it. Keep what sticks, discard the rest and for goodness sakes, go out and test drive it!
